Subject: About the title
I regard a title as a mere distinguishing mark, a brand, a label, a something by which the book may be called when spoken of—nothing more. --Dewar, Birds of the Plains, 1906.

I. Doves
II. The Occupations of Animals
III. Green Parrots
IV. The Tailor-Bird
V. Tails
VI. The King-Crow
VII. Concerning Cats

IX. The Survival of the Unfit
X. Cock Robin's Murderer
